Incredible images of waves

(Courtesy of forwarded email from Donald)


These are awesome!

This photographer is from Oahu, but he is gaining international fame. He's a surfer himself and often gets wiped out just getting the shot, and you can see why!

These incredible images of waves were taken by the number one photographer of surf… Clark Little.

He has dedicated his life to photographing the waves and has published a selection of the best images of his career. He captures magical moments inside the "tube," as surfers say.


Sun... glints off wave

 Sand... in surf

 
 Tubular... shining

 
Beach... surf crashes down

Molten... liquid gold

Splash... stunning shot

Red... mysterious shot

 Break... wave crashes down

What a Magical Wave!

Typing Errors

(Courtesy of forwarded email from Francis)


A daughter sent a telegram (sent via postman) to her father on passing her B.Ed exams, which the father received as "Father, your daughter has been successful in BED."


A husband, while on a business trip to a hill station sent a telegram (someone did this) to his wife, "I wish you were here."

The message received by the wife was "I wish you were her.."


A man wanted to celebrate his wife's Birthday by throwing a party.
So he ordered a birthday cake in a cake shop. The salesman asked him what message he wanted put on the cake.
He thought for a moment and said, put "Getting older but you are getting better".
The salesman asked "How do you want me to put it?"
The man said 'Well...put "You are getting older" at the top and "But you are getting better" at the bottom.'

When the cake was unveiled at the party all the guests were aghast at the message on the cake.
It reads "You are getting older at the top, but you are getting better at the bottom"


Moral of the Story:(We are all guilty one time or another!)

1. Double proof read everything before you send.
2. Don't trust others to write it right for you.
3. Don't order anything esp cakes by telephone.

New Technology you will be impressed

(Courtesy of forwarded email from Francis)


An American, a Japanese, and a Singh were sitting naked in the sauna.

Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The American pressed his forearm and the beeping stopped. The others looked at him questioningly.

"That's my pager," he said, "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."

A few minutes later a phone rang. The Japanese lifted his palm to his ear.

When he finished he explained, "That's my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.

The Singh felt low-tech and inferior. He didn't know what to do to be as impressive as the American & the Japanese. He decided to take a break in the toilet. When he returned, he didn't realize that there was a piece of toilet paper got stuck and hanging from his ass.

The others raised their eyebrows and said, "Wow! What's that?" Instead of being embarrassed, inspiration struck his mind.

The Singh explained, "I'm getting a FAX."

Are computers Male or Female?

(Courtesy of forwarded email from Francis)


A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

  1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 
  2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 
  3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and  
  4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:

  1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
  2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
  3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
  4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

Send this to all the smart women you know...and all the men that have a sense of humor.
